In November 2024, we invited audiences to join our immersive learning movement and take part in a festival of events at our unique theatre venue in Brent. 

We launched the results of major research and evaluation, heard from other teachers' experiences of creating their own immersive learning projects, led creative workshops, and hosted inspiring discussion panels and presentation.

Now, you can join the conversation from wherever you are with our podcast series, featuring inspiring talks and discussions from the festival. 

We'll keep updating this page as new episodes are released.

Episode 1: How Immersive Learning Transform Schools

In this episode, meet the immersive learning headteachers. Associate Artist Tara Boland chairs a panel with three headteachers—Sharon Lynch, Kiel Richardson, and James Searjeant—who have collaborated with Punchdrunk Enrichment to bring immersive learning to life in their schools.

These experienced educators share their first-hand experiences of welcoming nomadic libraries, mischievous tiny people, and even visitors from another world into their schools.

Listen to explore the impact of immersive learning on pupil engagement, its ability to inspire teaching practice, and how it fosters a culture of creativity and possibility.
